In Youth by the River, Venancio Martín González captures an intimate moment of everyday life: two young men seen from behind, semi-nude, moving toward an open space that suggests water and nature. The energetic brushstrokes of the background, with vibrant greens and yellows, contrast with the detailed corporeality of the bodies, creating a balance between figure and emotion. The scene conveys a sense of freedom and camaraderie, reflecting the quiet vitality of youth in Myanmar.
